Wondering how bloggers do it?!!

So I haven't written in almost a month. Ooops not my intention when I started this blog. I guess starting something new at Christmas time when your life is already hectic is probably not a good idea. Anyways I am going to try and give it another shot. My goal is 3 times a week right now.

Alot has been happening here...

POTTY TRAINING
Right before Christmas and before we were taking an 8 hour car trip Avery decided he finally wanted to give potty training a try...of course!!We did a little bit over Christmas and when we got back from holidays I immediately started putting him in underwear...and since then almost 2 weeks he has been great!!!! I never thought it would be that easy..I was prepared for months of fighting and accidents, and am so thankful that we waited until Avery was ready. I think it made all the difference.

CHRISTMAS
We stayed home for Christmas and boxing day which was absolutely wonderful and then we left for a visit with family for a week. As usual when we make into a big city buy all the things we can't get here! LOL. We were completely packed for the drive back and even had to ship some furniture we bought. I bought a new hutch to match my kitchen table as I was in desperate need for some more storage!!! It took me a week to get the house back in order

Now that we are finally getting back into our routine...the kids and I started setting up our nature table. Right now it just has an old silk blanket, our white candle to remind us that the light of spring will come and some stones and a twig from our morning walk, but I am looking forward to adding to it as we find things. We also have a basket of winter book underneath.

I am thinking my nature table is probably to big but I do like its location right in front of our big living room window. I might end up changing it but for now...it works. ( Don't mid our big fat cat Zirk in the shot...he really really didn't want to move)
